Don't uses {} braces around 1-statement "blocks".

Don't use // comment style.  Also, for multi-line comments in Linux,
please use this preferred style:

        /*
         * This is the preferred style for multi-line
         * comments in the Linux kernel source code.
         * Please use it consistently.

         * Description:  A column of asterisks on the left side,
         * with beginning and ending almost-blank lines.
